Kate Upton's claim to fame has a lot to do with little clothing—the model became a household name after gracing the cover of Sports Illustrated's swimsuit issue in 2012 and again in 2013. She got her start appearing in Guess ads and posing for Victoria's Secret, before becoming a sought-after face for magazine editorials and for companies, such as Mercedes-Benz and Carl's Jr. restaurants. There is no denying her appeal. Upton embodies the word bombshell with blonde locks, killer curves, and sexy head-turning style to boot.

Here, she stands out in an emerald Diane von Furstenberg dress at the 2013 Met Gala.
